Santiago Giménez Halts Play With Ankle Injury, Out of Mexico’s November Window

He will sit out the international dates to treat a months‑long ankle problem, with reports pointing to a short layoff.

Overview

  • Giménez announced he has been playing for months with ankle pain and said it is time to stop and recover.
  • ESPN reporting indicates he will not be called up for Mexico’s November friendlies against Uruguay and Paraguay.
  • He missed AC Milan’s win over Roma and is expected to be unavailable for the upcoming match against Parma as he rehabilitates.
  • Some outlets say he could require minor surgery and be sidelined for several weeks, though coverage suggests his 2026 World Cup prospects are not at risk.
  • His Milan stint has drawn criticism, with one goal in 11 appearances as Italian commentators note injuries and form have limited his impact, while most fan reactions have been supportive.
